Trains and travel

The Wirral line platform received a makeover last year. Throughout the process, the station is remaining open.

Network Rail, along with Merseyrail and Merseytravel, has carried out improvement work at all five Merseyrail underground stations, with Moorfields being the last to be upgraded in a £40m investment.

Jan Chaudhry-van der Velde, Merseyrail’s managing director, said: “This station, which serves the city’s business district, plays a key role in the local economy and we’re determined to bring it into the 21st century and create an attractive environment for our passengers.

“We will continue working with partners Network Rail and Merseytravel to ensure that customers notice a real difference once it’s completed later this year.”

The overall refurbishment involves updating the original 1970s finishes, with improvements to platforms and walkways. It includes new flooring, fresh enamel cladding on the walls and brighter lighting to create a cleaner, more airy and less cluttered environment.

The other underground stations to be overhauled in the programme were Liverpool Central, James Street, Lime Street and Hamilton Square.
